AeroAEO Launches as a Specialist Answer Engine Optimization Agency

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — July 17, 2026

AeroAEO, a new agency focused exclusively on Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), today announced its launch to help SaaS and growth-stage companies become the answer AI engines actually cite — in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot.

As AI-powered answer engines increasingly replace the traditional search results page, buyers are getting direct recommendations instead of a list of links to evaluate themselves. Industry research shows a majority of B2B buyers now use AI tools to research and shortlist products before ever visiting a company's website — meaning brands that don't appear in AI-generated answers are effectively invisible to a fast-growing, high-intent segment of their market. AeroAEO was founded to address that gap directly, rather than treating it as an add-on to traditional SEO.

A Specialist Approach, Not a Generalist Add-On

Unlike agencies that bolt AI-search tactics onto existing SEO retainers, AeroAEO works exclusively on AEO: structuring schema markup and entity signals, building third-party citation authority, and producing AI-extractable content designed to be quoted directly in generated answers rather than merely ranked. The agency offers three service tiers — Runway ($497/mo) for AEO audits and technical setup, Cruising Altitude ($1,497/mo) for full-strategy implementation, and First Class (custom) for enterprise AI-visibility programs.

Since founding the company, Amanda Fouts has built out AeroAEO's own site as a working demonstration of the discipline: a cornerstone guide to AEO, a 36-term AEO glossary, a free AEO Score Calculator, a free 5-day AEO email course, and a certification program offering free AI-visibility audits and a verified "AEO Certified" badge to the first ten qualifying businesses.
